Because wine culture cannot be improvised, the owners of Domaine de Verchant wanted to entrust the vineyard to true professionals, able to reveal the best of this terroir.
In the soil of rolled pebbles, characteristic of the "La Méjanelle" terroir, the vineyard benefits under the southern sun from the conjunction of the influence of the mistral and sea breezes. Over the entire estate (16 hectares), old vines rub shoulders with those recently planted.
Jules Leenhardt, a wine merchant from an old protestant family from Montpellier, bought the Domaine de Verchant in 1878. The primary motivation for this acquisition was to fight against the Phylloxera disease that was destroying the world's vineyards, by introducing American plants resistant to this parasite. His objective: to re-establish the production of the vine to produce wines again and sell varieties of table grapes.
Three reds, with complementary characters, a rosé with a “Pétale de Rose” color, and a new white, created in 2005, form the homogeneous range of Domaine de Verchant.
In the old vats, two new cellars have been fitted out with a selection of French and foreign grands crus. Our sommelier offers tastings on a selection according to themes for groups of up to 6 people.
Our boutique-cellar is available to customers for a tasting of the Domaine's wines and to assist you in your choice of regional wines.
Open Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Discover a luxurious hotel complete with a sublime spa and gourmet dining experiences, in the heart of a restored vineyard estate.
